Petabit
A petabit (Pb) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^15 bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
History/Origin
The petabit was introduced as part of the binary and decimal prefixes for large data quantities, reflecting the increasing need for larger units in data storage and transfer, especially during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Petabits are primarily used in the context of large-scale data storage, data transfer rates, and network bandwidth measurements, particularly in data centers, internet infrastructure, and high-capacity storage systems.
Floppy Disk (3.5", Dd)
A 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer, characterized by its 3.5-inch physical size and double-density recording capacity.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1980s, the 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk became a popular data storage medium due to its compact size and improved capacity over earlier floppy disks. It was widely used throughout the 1990s and early 2000s before being phased out by more advanced storage technologies.
Current Use
Today, the 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk is largely obsolete, with minimal use primarily in legacy systems, data recovery, or nostalgic collections. Modern data storage relies on USB drives, external hard drives, and cloud storage solutions.
